The Heart of His Children

When I think of the heart of God’s children, well, all I can do is smile. Yesterday I was surrounded by the collective heart of His children. An army of volunteers arrived to help move five rooms of furniture, plus our full thrift store. The way they worked together, the way they supported each other,…

A Humble Patriot

There are times when you just go speechless. Most of you who know me personally would have a hard time believing I would ever be speechless, but it does occasionally happen. If you read this little blog regularly you know that I have the honor of working with a local disaster relief organization that formed…

Miracles Before Milton

As the recovery process began following Hurricane Milton yesterday, I noticed something on social media. People were sharing the prayers they had been praying on Tuesday and Wednesday as the storm was intensifying. Interesting that we were all praying the same thing.

As The Sun Rises

As I type this blog, Milton has passed through most of the state. He is making his final exit on the northeast side, and I am lifting prayers for friends in that area and for everyone in the state affected by this storm. As the sun rises this morning we will assess the damage. Our…

Father Hear Our Prayer

It’s erie this morning. For the first time in days, we have a pause in the rain and actually see some sunshine peek through the clouds. It’s very quiet, truly the calm before the storm.

The Train

The newest phone scans your face to let you access it. An ai types your messages as you speak. With the touch of a button, you’ve ordered, paid, and had your dinner delivered to your front door. You don’t carry cash because with just a touch of your phone on the pad at the restaurant…

His Message

It’s difficult to know where to begin this little blog this morning. We are all safe here, and our city, compared to others is just fine. Hurricane Helene has moved through the state of FL, making her way now through the neighboring states with a vengeance. She made landfall in the Big Bend area at…

The Hype

Well, buckle up Florida, we have a “biggun” coming with this latest storm. It’s been interesting over the past week as not many weather people have been talking about it. There are only a few weather folks that I watch, we have learned which ones tend to “hype” just to get clicks, and which ones…
